OMG. . .'Cheeky' is too stinkin' cute!!!! Oceana is just gorgeous! No Chinese and New Zealand genes needed for you guys. . :) Your blond beauty is precious. . Doncha' just want to eat her up???? :) So excited for you guys. . .looks like a great house. Take care- Ellen in Ohio
I like your new family pic. Oceana is beautiful, the last one is the best.. I know you are in such pain right now, it shows through all you write, you are handling it so well. How is Matt doing?? I know men handle things differently. I can't imagine losing a child, I have 4, & 2 grandchildren. They mean more to me than anything, next to God.. Praying for you all. Cathy in Virginia
THAT picture could be your stand-in Easter family protrait! Gorgeous! Captures all of you...sigh. We miss him too Susie. And, by the way, is there a modeling agency in NZ who needs a little cheeky cherub? I'd check into that if I were you. Just beautiful.

Susie, that photo is gorgeous... well, all of them are ,but that new one in you header is breath-taking.
Can't you sleep, dear? I noticed the time. You're 3.5 hours ahead of me (I'm pretty sure) If you have aol or msn and want to chat when you can't sleep, just e-mail me, or on my site there should be an aol mr linky thing. I doubt I'll be any help at all, but I can listen, and perhaps I'm removed enough from it to be someone you can vent all the really hard stuff onto?
What a gorgeous little girl. I can see alot of you in her and alot of Matt. Here's a quote I read today that mde me think of you, "Faith is for that which lies on the other side of reason. Faith is what makes life bearable, with all its tragedies and ambiguities and sudden, startling joys."- Madeleine L'Engle
Thinking of you,just wanted to let you know we haven't forgotten. -Rach
I like the new look or the blog, and you family picture is beautiful. Oceana is adorable in all the pics, and she looks especially onery in the last one :) Still praying!
oh! Susie!!! I absolutely love the picture of ya'll up at the top of your blog! What an amazing photo capturing the Sams'!!!! Caleb sends his hellos to Matt:)
I have to tell you a funny story about your cheeky little girl...haha. Yesterday she was sitting next to Zac (student) at the mess hall table playing with the salt and pepper shakers, minding her own business. Zac turned his head to talk to someone and while his head was turned, she very slyly and quietly took the pepper shaker and shook it into his drink. As soon as he turned back, she just kept playing with the shakers like nothing had happened!! LOL Too funny!! Look out mum and dad... :)
Oceana is all the things you described and so much more. I love the family picture up top that you just put up. You will always be a family of 4 in my heart. Praying for your move to be smooth this weekend. How exciting to get from God exactly what you asked for. He sure loves you guys. Me too.
I just love the new picture at the top! It is awesome! You can actually see Joshua's face instead of just blankets! He is so cute in that picture. And Oceana is just gorgeous. I love the pictures of her big cheeky smile.
Thanks again for sharing! Jen Bray Spokane WA, USA
I love the new picture at the top of your blog! It's my new background on our computer. I had the one with Oceana holding Joshua that last day and it was just too depressing no matter how cute it is. Good luck with the moving. Can't wait to see your new home. Hugs to everyone...only if you really want one...ha ha. Love you, Mom
Oh my gosh! I love love love the picture of the Sams Family at the heading of your blog. That's a beautiful picture of the four of you. The new pictures of Oceana are adorable!!
OH, MY GOSH!!!! The new family picture is sooo precious and beautiful!! I absolutely love it!! Everyone looks so good and of course ever so happy. God has truly blessed you.
The new picture you put up of the family is beautiful. You have such a sweet little girl.. What a beautiful face.. I bet she brings alot of joy.. Congrats on the new house..
Yes, I agree with Laurie that you will always be a family of four!!! Everyday when I pray, it's for Matt, Susie, Oceana & Joshua. He will always be a very present part of our family even though he is present with the Lord.
She has the same eyes as Daddy! She is a beautiful little girl.
ReplyDeleteShe is pure joy! That pic up top is so precious!
